CM is the solo project of Todd Brooks, founder of Pendu, an organization based in Brooklyn, NY that promotes occultism, adhocism, and eroticism in the arts. Besides his work in CM, he is also a member of Ghost Moth (with free-jazz legend Daniel Carter) and Abuse Report. CM uses handmade, homebuilt oscillators and feedback-loops to produce hi-frequency analogue tones over a droning low-end for the purpose of arousing visceral and ecstatic, psychical states; exploring uses of ritual in sound and sound in ritual. The oscillators and effects pedals are carried and played out of an antique Green Suitcase affectionately known as the "Boîte-en-valise". CM has released music on Middle James Co, Period Tapes, Closet Sorcery, Baked Tapes, Shark Bite Tapes, Pendu Sound, and more...
Inspired by the texts of Gérard de Nerval, Aleister Crowley, Austin Osman Spare (Yihoveaum), Georges Bataille, Peter J. Carroll, Hakim Bey, Brion Gysin, Genesis P-Orridge, and many others... Also by the rituals of A.'.A.'. , TOPY, IOT, and Vama Marga Tantra.
